    Bird Spike Placement all over outside of house

    There were pigeons landing all over the outside of my house (windowsills, drain pipes etc...) and they were causing a ton of noise. Josh from Gates Wildlife did an incredible job covering these areas with bird spikes to prevent them from nesting. Josh got the job done very quickly and even followed up with me a few days later to ensure everything was okay. He was friendly, thorough and hardworking. I really appreciate his help and would recommend this guy to anyone. Thank you Josh!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi David, I can totally appreciate the mess and noise associated with having pigeons nesting on your home. I am glad you were more than satisfied with the service Josh provided. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Project: Raccoon projection!

    Josh came to our rescue and was able to secure our roof and attic from a "raccoon attack". Thank you for your positive attitude and expertise with taking care of our problem

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Shelley, your mention of a "raccoon attack" is often referenced by our customers when in fact it is not the animals intent to be destructive or harmful. Although, it is a fact that they do cause damage, much of which goes undetected. Thank you for your business and for complimenting Josh. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Squirrels in the roof

    Used the online appointment system; within minutes received confirmation of the day and time I had requested, less than 48 hours away. Friendly technician Nick arrived on time, and not only attended to the break-in site, but inspected the entire roof and identified a weak spot that needed preventive treatment. He installed a one-way door over the hole, and returned next day, despite pouring rain, to check up. No sign of squirrels inside or outside; he removed the one-way door and secured the site. The whole operation was conducted with skill and expertise, and for a very reasonable price. Can't imagine better service, and will recommend AAAGates to anyone with a wildlife problem.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi John, thank you for mentioning how well our online appointment system worked for you. It is definitely a time saver for all involved. I also appreciate you recapping how the entire job unfolded, this will prove to be helpful to anyone reading your review. Your comment "CAN'T IMAGINE BETTER SERVICE" says it all. Thank you for hiring my company and for your great review!! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Wildlife removal

    This is the third time I've used Gates Wildlife Control, and each time they have been professional, courteous, and complete. Unfortunately, squirrels are tenacious. Technician Josh Semeniuk has taken care of the job quickly and efficiently. I definitely recommend this company and all its technicians.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Paul, thank you for your kind words and for your continued support of my business. You are 100% correct about squirrels being tenacious and they don't take no for an answer. Raccoons are much easier to discourage than squirrels are. Thanks again! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Raccoon Proofing our Roof

    Reviews were great so we submitted an online request for a quote to check out our roof and make sure the "trash pandas" we've heard and seen up there lately didn't break into the attic or do any severe damage. The Gates team responded super fast and booked a nice early AM appointment ASAP to come check it out. Boris showed up a few minutes early (love when service folks are punctual) and was eager to help us sort out our raccoon issue. He did a very thorough inspection around our whole home and got up on the roof safely to check out the issues. Within minutes he gave us a great status report (the raccoons hadn't invaded but did do a bit of damage) and explained the vulnerabilities for real raccoon intrusion that he did discover on our roof. We suspected a few of them with an older home like ours. Their approach is really low-pressure and respectful. Boris walked us through all the options (showing us super helpful photos) and we came up with a plan to "raccoon proof" the risky parts of our roof where we saw evidence of their break-in attempts. He fixed up the damaged spots and did a really thorough and clean looking job on the protection. We thought Boris was fantastic and our cat did too!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jeremy, I had a good laugh over your reference of raccoons being "trash pandas". Of my 32 years in business I have never heard that before. Some do say raccoons are related to the panda. Your mentioning of Boris being punctual and his low pressure sales are two aspects that we take great pride in. Thank you for your excellent review, I will be reading it at our next staff meeting.

    Goodbye Racoon see you NEVER

    Racoon with babies. They immediately fix our problem. Josh is so quick covering all the entry areas and gently get all the babies out Thank you Josh you are the BEST.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Roderick, thank you for complimenting Josh for humanely solving your raccoon problem. When you consider the amount of damage raccoons can do to a home, I can't blame you for not wanting to see the raccoon in your house again. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    A Visit by Mr. Gates

    I have hired this company three times, and I am very satisfied with the services. All the vent screens and repairs they did 4/5 years ago are still in good condition. Mr. Gates visited this morning and thoroughly checked the property. While he couldn't find any signs that would indicate intrusion of animals, he suggested that the noise I heard was probably from mice. He also recommended a self-help, economical way to solve the problem. He did not charge me a fee after spending 45 minutes investigating the problem. Not only am I impressed with the company's policy of no removal, no fee, I have high regard for their respect of animals, love for their job, courtesy, and efficiency. I'd recommend this company to everyone.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Kathleen, thank you very much for your heartfelt review. After having the chance to talk to you, it made my happy to learn of your tremendous respect of all living creatures. I appreciate you mentioning that we provide free estimates, many of our competitors charge for on-site quotes. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Skunk's burrow against front wall: one -way -door

    Josh from Gates attended on time, in the rain and in good humour. He patiently, and carefully, listened to my concerns about the welfare of the skunk(s). In very tight quarters, adjacent to my neighbours' front porch, a rose bush, wrought-iron fence and sundry hidden concrete foundations, Josh dug a trench, to install a wire mesh barrier surrounding the burrow, and a one-way door over the burrow entrance. He cheerfully did this working in the rain, and very muddy conditions. He left instructions on monitoring the area surrounding the burrow entrance , to determine if infant skunks were already in the burrow, and directions to telephone immediately if any evidence of their presence appeared in the next 24 hours. I'm very happy with the service provided today by Josh, and by Gates Wildlife, over the past 20 years

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Bellwoodparish, thank you for being concerned about the welfare of the skunks. The humane treatment of wildlife is also our top priority. At this time of the year it is critical that every removal is carefully monitored to ensure that baby animals are not left behind. Thank you for hiring my company today and "over the past 20 years." It is very much appreciated! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!
